one of the best prospects in Hildreth
Mining District, and can be bought
Judging by the development of ore in

The George Mine is considered one of

of As degrees. The owners have
run in a tunnel forty.ive feet, and
thence from the face down forty five feet
of winze. Last week Frank Ham,
mack and A. Brant worked sixteen tons
of their ore and obtained $4OO.
Mckenzie 4 Rule, the owners of the
Last Chance mine, made a cleanup of
their lO-stamp mill of nearly 100
pounds of retorted bullion. The owners

Their sulphurets, as usual, are rich. If
mining men are desirous of seeing q

The property is worth 500, 900.
The late discovery in the Abby mine

A SACRAMENTO INVENTION.

Machine for Pulverizins the SOFIA Trial
Test.
Last summer the RECORD UNION con
tanned description of a Sacramento in
vention, by David Lubin, CT this city, to
aid in the preparation of the soil for agri-
cultural purposes. Subsequently the in
ventor made several important improve
ments in the machine, and it had the atten-
ton of prominent manufacturers of this
State and from the East The inventor has
made two trips to the East since then in
the interest of thu machine. 1t is now per-
fected and has been taken IN hand by one
of the largest and oldest manufacturing
houses of the East, P. 2. Mast & Co.,
Springfield, Ohio, for introduction. For
this State II. II. Linnell. of this city, has
been appointed by the Eastern house
as its agent. On Saturday a trial
of the machine was made on the farm of
the inventor, in the presence of G. w.
Reed. the horticulturist of Yolo; j. Chester,
editor of the California Patron; C. D.
Brooke farmer of Fl Dorado; A ]. Beach,
farmer of Patalka, Florida Z H Fleming,
farmer of Fresno; E. W. Maslin, horticult-
urist of this city, II. H. Linnell, merchant
of Sacramento; ]. Ratter, hor,iculturist
of Florin, and several others. The trial
was a complete success, and demonstrated
the usefulness and novelty of the imple-
ment. The Lubin pulverizer consists Of
series Of wheels, playing independently
upon common shaft in frame drawn by
horses The periphery ofe ach wheel IS
armed with chisel-shaped teeth, extending
outward six inches and are about three and
half inches apart. which penetrate the
earth as the wheels move forward. A
cross-bar bears steel spring teeth curved
acknowledgements as crushing bsrs-so
that they depend between the wheels. The
bar bearing these teeth is operated
by a lever to raise and lower them.
When it is desired to stir up land
packed By recent rains, the crushing bars
enter the earth point first, tearing up the
crust The wheels rotating carry the wheel
teeth between the crushing bars, pulveriz-
ing the clods 10 fineDess in proportion to
the gauge at which the machine is set-i e.
the width, or space. between the wheels
and the crushing bars. Reversing the
tongue for the horses. a different effect is
produced. and puts the crushing bars at
the rear, so that they follow the wheels and
meet the earth curve first, instead, as in the
tirst case, of preceding the wheel and meet

IMMIGRATION OF FARMERS.

The statistics of immigration show the
percentage of farmers among immigrants
from Europe to have been: 1S20-SO, S.5;
iS3l-40, 10; 1S41-50, AS; lS51-G0, IA;
lS6l-6S, ll.9; 1888, S.3. These figures
are significant; but still more so are these
compiled from official sources by the New
York Ereaiag Post:
In 1878 AZ per cent. of the immi grating farm
ers came srom the United Kingdom In 1886
the percentage was about the same "a q, though
4 had fallen 10 S.S per cent. in 1870 a fall due
chiefly TO a decrease in the movement of farm
ers from Ireland Denmark and France fur
nished nearly the same per cent in 1886 as in
1915 On the other hand the share of Austria
hSrgary rose from . per cent. in 1878 TO 8 per
cent in 1856 OF Italy, from less than per cent.
IN 1873 10 to 80 per cent in 1886; of Russia from
y per eeut in 1873 TO TO IS per cent. in 1886 and
oil sweden, from % per cent. in 1873 to per
cent. In 1856. The percentage of farmers coming
irom Germany fell from 1856 in 1873 to q. Q in
1850, and from Norway from 10.5 in the for
ger year to % in the latter.
SO then the arithmetic" of the question
completely answers the argument that we
must place no restriction upon immigra-
ton, because We need the people to settle
the unoccupied lands. The farmer immi-
grafton has fallen off until it is mere
tritle. More than that, the class now COM
ing is ill-adapted to engage in American
farming. They hail from sections which
employ only the primitive methods in
agriculture, and the Immigrants rating
themselves as farmers are mainly below
the level in agricultural ability, of the
most unskilled tiliers Of the soil known to
our system, just as the immigrants nocking
to the cities are largely of tue class that
swells the ranks of unskilled workers. As
the Chicago Inter Ocean well says: sEyery
fact obtainable on the subject proves be-
yond doubt that our present unrestricted
immigration lowers the quality of labor,
agricultural and mechanical, in intelli-
gence, morality and skill. We have as
simulated great dead of rubbish in the
past, but we must soon reach the limit of
such assimilation, il we have not already,
and the time is rapidly approaching when
self-preservation will demand stringent
law of restriction"
